The show featured a woman (Debra Messing) living in mostly harmony with a gay man (Eric McCormack), although part of the series was dedicated to Messing’s character’s romance with a doctor (Harry Connick, Jr.). The show also featured a scene-stealing secondary gay character played by Sean Hayes, now in theaters playing Larry in “The Three Stooges.”
